Green Procurement
| 1. | How is your department planning to meet the objectives of the Policy on Green Procurement? | ||
|
NBC is planning to reduce waste and promote reuse and recycling. For example, recycling bins (marked with the recycling symbol) have been installed in buildings and outdoors near buildings to encourage visitors, users and NBC staff to recycle plastic, cans, glass and paper. In the park, dead leaves are collected and composted, resulting in reduced waste volume and haulage and savings on compost purchases. In Communications, leaflets, brochures and greetings cards are printed on recycled paper. With 7,500 leaflets, 225,000 brochures and 410 Xmas cards, we are thus helping to save trees. |

NBC is in the process of drawing up objectives in line with the Policy on Green Procurement. It has already established its first objective, which is to promote environmental protection. The decisions made in each of our departments further contribute to the attainment of this objective. As a park, NBC already makes purchases that are beneficial for the
environment and favour a healthier work environment for employees and for the general public. NBC thus works toward a better environment by providing clean air, greenery, cultivated gardens and trees, in other words a huge green space which serves as the lungs of the city of Quebec for the benefit of park users and visitors. |
